Jack Coleman thrilled "Heroes" fans all over the world last year when he was announced as the first original cast member to reprise his role for Tim Kring's revival series.
In the new "Heroes Reborn" video released by NBC earlier this week, delves on Noah Bennett's role in the new show.
The 13-episode follow-up to the cult classic will reportedly have a five-year time skip from when Claire Bennett (Hayden Panetierre) jumped off that Ferris wheel to show the world her powers. However, her adoptive father seems to be ignorant of this or anything from his past.
In the upcoming series' premiere, Claire will be tagged as deceased along with several other people with powers. This must have been a huge blow to HRG.
Known as HRG by die-hard fans, Noah Bennett is visited and stalked by Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski), who lost his EVO (evolvled human) half sister in a supposed "terrorist attack."
In the "Heroes Reborn" video, Coleman talked about his character's journey to find the memory he lost in the revived series.
"HRG, as our story begins, is doing what he did a long time ago: selling cars in Austin, Texas," he said in the featurette. "HRG has some memory missing - not a lot, only part of a day, but crucial information. So he has to piece it back together."
His investigation into his own mysterious past will lead him to an old ally and friend, the Haitian (or Rene as HRG calls him in the video), played by Jimmy Jean-Louis. He most likely got his former partner to erase his memories, perhaps to block out the pain after his daughter, Claire, died.
Aside from Coleman and Jean-Louis, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, and Sendhil Ramamurthy will be returning this Sept. 24. Zachary Levi, Ryan Guzman, Kiki Sukezane, Robbie Kay, Danika Yarosh, and Gatlin Green are also joining the cast.
